The corridor exploded into motion.
The moment Lucien's voice shifted and his imitation fell away, killing intent flooded the space. Weapons materialized and Astrafer bodies hummed as synchronized power surged to the surface.
Lucien did not retreat.

The Crown of Creation settled upon his brow. The Mantle of the Infinite unfurled across his shoulders. The Gloves of the Eclipse formed around his hands. The Aegis of Rebirth locked into place along his arm. The Boots of Reflection anchored beneath his feet.
In the same breath, Lucien activated Dragon Beast Mode and summoned Morphis from his inventory.
The instant his form began to change, the Alloykins no longer hesitated.
The senior patrol leader stepped forward and expanded his domain.
The world bent.
Space within the corridor warped into a vast metallic expanse. Metal constructs rose like a forged sky.
